About

The Alley establishes a global standard for premium Taiwanese bubble tea through its dedication to authentic craftsmanship and high-quality ingredients. Signature offerings center on meticulously prepared tapioca pearls, known as Deerioca, which are simmered in a proprietary brown sugar syrup to ensure a precise chewy texture. The menu emphasizes a sophisticated balance of imported tea leaves and fresh dairy or non-dairy alternatives to construct complex, layered flavor profiles. Innovative beverages like the Brown Sugar Deerioca Series highlight the brand commitment to visual presentation and consistency across every serving. Patrons experience a focused selection of handcrafted fruit-infused teas and smooth milk-based drinks designed for immediate enjoyment. Each cup reflects rigorous quality control measures that prioritize the integrity of the base tea notes while integrating modern topping textures into the beverage architecture.

I came here today for the first time not sure what to order. The cashier helped me out & her recommendation was DELICIOUSSSS. I got a tirimisu boba slushy type drink. Also, the cashier was so nice, super smiley, just interacting with her made my day better. At first I thought the prices were too high for the quantity. HOWEVER, I stand corrected, it is absolutely worth it for the quality. I've paid the same price for bigger drinks but nothing compares to the quality of this place. This drink had layers, it was an experience, it was exactly what I was looking for. I live in the west Island & I only went to this place because I study at JMSB. I find it really hard to find good tapioca but I finally have!! Last thing, the place is so cute & clean, such a vibe to grab a drink with friends.

J'ai pris un deerioca fever super bon, les boissons sont bonnes même si un peu chères parfois, mais j'ai eu droit à une paille en plastique qui devient toute molle & se plie instantanément quand j'aspire. La boisson n'était pas non plus bouillante, c'était donc impossible d'aspirer les perles & même la boisson au bout d'un moment. Si la paille était en papier, j'aurais compris, mais ce n'était pas le cas 😭 Aussi, presque jamais de service en français. C'est pas super grave pour les bilingues, mais si ce n'est pas le cas, faites attention

Super good boba, the boba itself is a bit small, but the best part are the crossovers! which are absolutely adorable!!

Delicious Boba tea! Their pearls are real with caramel taste, not like other places using only starch. Only down side is the store is a little dusty & spider web on their frames.
